| Zusammenfassung |
| Traditionally, due to observational constraints, ionospheric modelling and
data analysis techniques have been devised either in one dimension (e.g.
along a single radar beam), or in two dimensions (e.g. over a network of
magnetometers). With new upcoming missions like the Swarm ionospheric
multi-satellite project, or the EISCAT 3-D project, the time has come to take
into account variations in all three dimensions simultaneously, as they
occur in the real ionosphere. The link between ionospheric electrodynamics
and the neutral atmosphere circulation which has gained increasing interest
in the recent years also intrinsically requires a truly 3-dimensional (3-D)
description. In this paper, we identify five major science questions that
need to be addressed by 3-D ionospheric modelling and data analysis. We
briefly review what proceedings in the young field of 3-D ionospheric
electrodynamics have been made in the past to address these selected
question, and we outline how these issues can be addressed in the future
with additional observations and/or improved data analysis and simulation
techniques. Throughout the paper, we limit the discussion to high-latitude
and mesoscale ionospheric electrodynamics, and to directly data-driven (not
statistical) data analysis. |
